Ah, there we go. No, I see it all differently. All the movies are technically brillllliant, but Where some fail is in the writing and editing department, all under the thumb of Lucas for the most part. So if you look hard enough you'll see a little pattern.
ANH written by Lucas, directed by lucas, edited by his wife and about five other dudes. They saved it.
ESB wasn't written or directed or edited by Lucas so... there we go.
RotJ, directed partially by some other dude, then Lucas did pretty much everything else during a turbulant time in his life. Oooops.
Phantom and clones, Written, directed, by lucas, edited by Burtt.. oops.
RotS, written by Lucas and some other guy. Edited by some other guy. Eh, it's pretty good.
In my mind, Lucas is the reason the saga's suffered, not esb.
crap, I have to go, so I'll end it there. bye.
